Eye deformity

From this photo it is difficult to tell what the deformity is - more photos and specifics would help answer your question.  Are you referring to an ocular misalignment?  In the photo you are looking up  - a photo with you looking straight ahead may be more helpful.  You would benefit from evaluation of an oculoplastic surgeon or if one is not available in your area, an ophthalmologist who may help pinpoint the problem and direct you to an appropriate reconstructive... more

I had an adult orbital translocation to correct this. Even 7 years later it is not without its problems, I have lagging where the eyelid has not risen sufficiently to meet the eyes new position and I have an upper lid deformity (fullness) where is covers an eye which was not meant to be in that place. I also have some weakness/sloping as a result of this (looks like a lazy eye)
I also had some muscle alignment and surgery to remove pins. I also have a big scar across my head covered by hair. Not an altogether easy route but really the only one possible
